At the beginning of the movie, I saw a vast snowy landscape, someone was climbing up, and as soon as the background sound appeared, I heard the voice of Morgan Freeman, who has been named after him since The Shawshank Redemption. After reading Andy for perspective, I was impressed with his voice and remember him saying "Nobody knows what those two Italian pussies are singing, who cares." Also, in this film, Morgan Freeman's voice is still as driving and infectious. In addition, when Jack Nicholson appeared in court with coffee, I sat up directly, where is the crazy writer in "The Shining" in my impression, where is the normal "madman" in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" , where is the man who won three Oscars, especially the appearance of him being admitted to the hospital, I only saw the image of old age and disease.
The story also begins with two elderly people suffering from cancer living in the same ward. Carter played by Morgan has been visited by his family all the time, but Jack has only an assistant to take care of him. Carter is a mechanic who has worked for 45 years but is very knowledgeable. Quiz shows, and Jack's Cole, who is a billionaire, rejects Carter's TV show. The only thing that is the same is that every late night is tortured by disease and trembling all over. The two knew that they had little time left, and they found Carter's bucket list by chance. Under the influence of Cole, the two embarked on a journey around the world.
They go skydiving, visit the Taj Mahal in India, chat and laugh on the pyramids, play poker in the African savannah, get up close with lions and zebras, wear PLA military caps under the Himalayas, and have an "adventure" in a hotel in Hong Kong. They are realizing the contents of the list step by step. The key turning point is that "Aventure" made Carter understand his love for his wife. As his wife said, "He was a stranger when he left, and I loved him when he came back. husband". But Carter left first, and Cole reconciled with his daughter with Carter's encouragement to complete the list. In the end, the movie solved a point that I have been obsessed with since the beginning, that is, the climber put the ashes of the two on the Himalayas.
It's such a simple movie, but just as I was moved by "Daydreamer", I will still recommend this movie to others. The two of them were 67 years old when they made this movie. This is their truth. The portrayal, this is themselves, the torment of late-night sickness may be what they often look like in real life, Cole is happy when he finds out that his beloved coffee is made of cat shit, Carter hears the girl talk about the expectations and expectations of the board. Moved, brought the acting is really empathetic.
Looking at their lists, I'm a person who doesn't like making lists. I often say that I need to plan my life, write goals, etc. I'm very repelled. I don't think it needs to be so detailed. It's good to have a general direction. , but the list listed in this movie, they completed one by one, and then crossed it out, it is really meaningful, maybe, I will also start to make my bucket list.
